Most likely you just ground the case and that completes the control side circuit.
Bolt is solidly to the inner fender of the vehicle, or something similar that provides a good ground.

ok. i have a dual switch running to a meyer e47 and i cannot get the motor on the plow to enguage when i hit the toggle. i cannot find a wiring diagram anywhere. i dont know which wire goes where. i know that the black is right, red is up, and green is down, and i have a wire ran to the accessory switch...idk what to do.

Are you trying to ground the solenoid or the pump motor? As jr said the solenoid grounds itself by the mounting tabs (make sure it's screwed to a METAL fender well, LOL). The motor just needs a lead to go back to the battery ground. Make sure you go back to the battery not just to the frame.
